It was quite the adventure for Tyler. He found some $5 off coupons for the DVDs and used those. Then he got confused (because coupon shopping can be confusing!) and accidentally bought them differently than I had written out for him to buy the stuff. He combined two transactions into one and didn't roll the ECBs the way they needed to be. So, instead of making a $15 profit on the DVD deal, he broke even. Also, at first they accidentally entered in the DVD movie coupons wrong and charged us $5 for each coupon, so we were paying $15 more and didn't get the $15 off. So, we got it sorted out afterwards and ended up getting a $30 refund.

It was fun going to CVS again. It's so addicting to go to a store where you can buy so much stuff for free. The cashier was super nice and didn't seem to get it at all how I was getting the stuff for free. She said something about wanting to learn how to do it. Out of four transactions, only two of them did we pay anything for (one was $0.27 and the other was just over $1). It was fun. It was also my first shopping trip with the new baby and the two other kids. Luckily Tyler was there! I think I will never go grocery shopping without him...hehe.

Like always, those are some pretty sweet deals! It's nice that you have a store that pretty much always has some amazing deals. I'm glad you were able to use your ECB before they expired! Good thing Tyler knows how to do some CVS shopping.
I bet shopping with 3 kids was fun! :-)
Just out of curiosity since I don't know how you do it, do you still clip your coupons or leave them each packet in one sleeve? If you clip them, does Tyler help you or do you do it by yourself? Hopefully you'll be able to stay at least semi on top of the coupons with 3 little ones.
